Future BSU Beaver Emily Erickson scores shorthanded to get the hat-trick and make it 5-0.

Yes, Molly Illikainen broke both her fibula and her collar bone. Looks like I'll be heading back down to the X tomorrow for the title game.

How did she get a broken Fib and shoulder blade? They've talked about her all not but haven't mentioned how it happened.

I honestly don't even know. The last shift she had she ran into a girl and fell down and then came off. That must have been it.

Why bsu, couldn't Emily play pretty much anywhere. Close to home maby, but bsu is horrible.

She signed with BSU to stay close to home. With her and D Marlee Wheelhouse from Crookston, the BSU program will make some very nice strides.

UMD is close to home and much better program.

I believe Kaylee Keys (Cretin-Derham Hall) will also be at BSU next season. They have a nice recruiting class for the second straight year. She also can be close to her mom and her mom can come watch her almost always. It is the ideal situation for Emily and she made a great decision.

But UMD doesn't seem to like to sign local kids, no matter how good they are.

UMD Likes to Recruit Women from Russia who already got payed to play Pro Hockey

Congrats GRG!!!!!!! Great season, I think most people wanted you guys to win. It hurts to see the homegrown talent get defeated by open enrolled city slickers...

Will we see the Lightning back at state this year? I'd think so!!!

zamboni99 · Post by **zamboni99** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 11:58 am

I would say they have as good a chance as anybody, if everyone can stay healthy. But, it is high school hockey and anything can happen. Thats why you play the games!! Should be another fun season
